@roxy54 with regard to the caps it was unintentional, I didnt catch that the caps lock was on…tx  
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
@ozzy62  Little tip back- I did read the entire post and I commented that it was more than a coincidence that only when the OP made the post was he then contacted about his order and the vague "problem with our credit card provider" for them not p... 
Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw?
You should feel nervous- I would. And posters below "assuring you" that all's well and "trust" and "they're sure that everything's fine" are well intentioned but uninformed and don't know anymore than you do. Not getting any response for your orde... 
Help with streamer software
Why not Roon? Its good, ties in Quboz, Tidal etc, MQA, seamless and PS Audio is Roon certified. You also get a fair amount of digital EQ options too. Its pretty stable and has the best UI out there?  
"The Ultra High-End Speaker."
It's tricky to find a "keeper" of a speaker for most of us S WE continually search for the next upgrade. I've had some really expensive speakers that were great and some that weren't. Some of the more musical ones were not expensive and considered... 
How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing?
Building on my other response to you here. I wouldn't waste money on room treatment either. I did during my Sopra 2 "problem"- it made no difference- the speakers were always etched and non involving regardless - no amount of treatment will fix pr... 
How to make the Focal Kanta No. 2 speakers sing?
I had similar issues when I upgraded from Focal 1038BE to Sopra 2. The 1038's were pretty good, really musical, forgiving and likable. The Sopra 2 were anything but. They were etched, cold, analytical and not at all musical. I almost hated them an... 
Denafrips Pontus 2 Price increases
If it’s now too expensive or you don’t see the added value of whatever improvements they made then vote with your wallet. The reason inflation is sticking around is that despite wholesale prices generally being down significantly retailers and OEM... 
McIntosh C28 transistor subs
Of course aftermarket transistors will work. Transistors are color coded so they can be identified. Take close up pics of them, look up the color codes and then call a couple of parts houses and get the tight tolerance versions of them and have yo... 
Benchmark or McIntosh....
So...you have SEVEN 21" sub woofers in your room and you need a little more "oomph" ???

REF5SE tubes
I bought mine from Tube Depot and The Tube Audio store, same prices as Upscale, "matched" supposedly- though matching on these is not so important according to ARC and others (for power tubes it is though).  
Sopra No 2's or other alternatives?
I had a Pass 250.8/Pass XP10 pre and PS Audio DS Jr a couple years back running Focal 1028BE with a REL s/510 and the set up was great; musical, dynamic etc. I (in my case) couldn't leave well enough alone and upgraded to Sopra 2 after reading rev... 
Audio Research Financial Troubles
Nothing unusual appears to be going on at ARC from what I/we can tell looking at things from the outside. There are always ARC products being listed, sold, unsold on Agon and USAudiomart. The good news is that they were acquired by an experienced ... 
The use of digital pitch correction software on vocal recordings
I'm a singer who's recorded many times. Unless you're a singer you wouldn't know how hard it is even for pros to record a great vocal track. 95% of the track can be perfect (though it might have taken 10-20 attempts) but there can still be one wor...
